Hello All, this is my other two ideas for a two person tent would very much like to have your input again on this matter. The first tent is the Bibler I tent it weights in at 3 lb 14 oz and cost $580. The other tent is NEMO Namo 2 tent it weights in at 3 lbs 8 oz and cost $380, This tent I be using when every I take my kid and for the JMT. for the PCT or the AT trial OR bivy sack. Any info will be very help full.

Maybe I just don't get it.
 
I mean I believe in quality, and getting what you pay for and all.
 
But my local big box store is selling a 3 parson dome tent for $20 this week.
 
Are these tents really twenty-nine times better?
 
What can be done for $100?
 
For a lot of people just starting out that will probably only use them three times a year are we on the list steering them towards a lot of real expensive stuff to keep a few grams off of our backs?
 
Please understand that this is not meant to target anyone specifically but sometimes I think that the list collectively forgets that camping can be done cheap and easy (and lightweight).
